Jeremiah 23:9-11
Common English Bible
Oracles against the prophets
9 As for the prophets:
My heart inside me is broken;
my body aches.[a]
I stagger like a drunk
who has had too much wine to drink,
because of the Lord
and because of God’s holy words.
10 Because the country teems
with adulterers,
because of them,[b]
yes, because their might isn’t right
and their way is evil,
the land dries up,
and the grazing areas in the wilderness wither.[c]
11 Both prophet and priest are godless;
I even find their evil in my temple,
declares the Lord.
